RESTONEY ROBINSON,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
W. DOUGLAS ALBRIGHT, SR., Resident Judge;
CARRIE A. MOCK; PRISONER LEGAL SERVICE,
Defendants - Appellees.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Middle Dis-
trict of North Carolina, at Durham. N. Carlton Tilley, Jr., Chief
District Judge. (CA-99-271-1)
Submitted: March 23, 2000 Decided: March 30, 2000
Before LUTTIG, WILLIAMS, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Restoney Robinson, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Restoney Robinson filed an action alleging denial of access to
courts and challenging his conviction. We affirm, on the reasoning
of the district court, the district court’s order adopting the
magistrate judge’s recommendation and dismissing the denial of
access to courts claim. See Robinson v. Albright, No. CA-99-271-1
(M.D.N.C. Nov. 15, 1999). To the extent that Robinson challenges
his conviction, the district court was without jurisdiction to
consider the claim because Robinson failed to obtain authorization
from this court under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2244 (West Supp. 1999).
Therefore, we affirm the denial of relief. We dispense with oral
argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately
presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not
aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
